Earlier this week, professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones revealed that he was going tobe in a remaster ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Given that the first two games have already received remakes, it’s possible thatPro Skater 3and4will be next to receive the same treatment.
Prior to Jones' comment on another remake, Tony Hawk himselfcelebrated the 25th anniversary ofPro Skaterby teasing fans with a cryptic message regarding the future of the franchise. In a lengthy Instagram post, Hawk talked about how thePro Skaterfranchise had changed the course of skateboarding’s popularity before going on to say that he wasn’t allowed to tease anything but that there “will be a future” forTony Hawk’s Pro Skater. After all the teases and rumors, fans will finally get to see what’s in store for the franchise on March 4.
